X'Ho's new book, Attack Of The S.M. Space Encroachers, will come in a special
edition at selected bookstores in early October. You can not only read him but
hear him as the limited edition will include his spoken-word CD, X' With An
X: Me All Good No Bad, which has the classic tracks Cover Backside, Suck (featuring
the Boredpucks) and the beloved interpretation of Alfian Sa'at's $ingapore You're
Not My Country. The new book compiles his published essays from his popular
column, The X'Ho- Files over the past three years, and also features a stack
of new and unpublished commentaries.

Having defined that $ingaporean predisposition to hypocrisy with the catchphrase,
Me All Good, No Bad!, X'Ho is now tackling that other sacred cow - that $ingapore
is not a country, it's a construct. In Attack Of The S.M. Space Encroachers,
X'Ho in no uncertain terms explains $ingapore's dilemma, its desperation to
keep its citizens as well as the country's less-than-conscious efforts to kick
them out.

As it has been written of him: "No one else has such an unerring finger
on the pulse. No one else can cut through the jargon of campaigns and political
posturing to see what lies beneath. No one else understands how we love and
hate ourselves so much." The special edition costs $25 and is available
while stocks last. The normal edition retails at $19 and is available from all
good book stores.
